Hydrangeas in the Rain

Sinful is a peacock vain;

For it celebrates the heaven's despair, the earth's bane;

Hydrangeas of mauve and blue;

They bear misery's every hue.

A gift from the divine ladies and the lords;

Gratitude sprinkled; debts as deep as the fjords;

Hence they bloom with grace;

Purple, pink, magenta, droplets of appreciation upon their face.

Beneath a veil of rain, silver and delicate;

The environs draped in a mantle of soft slate;

Like amethyst and sapphire;

Florets glimmer under the rainbow they pray for and desire.

A vessel of water, the deluge of despondency they soak;

Consummating unions, they wed the soil and the air, the two don a transparent diamond cloak;

If hatred the petals can erase;

O beautiful bird, turquoise and green; with your frivolity... in the floating monsoon... you have no place.
